Please someone, recap today for me. Damn work interferes with my WS life. TIA.
KN had the witness read more verbatim messages and give her opinion on how TA used JA for sex to the point where she eventually snowballed into the day of the murder and she had, and I quote "psychological vomit" and killed him.
KN asked the witness if JA loved TA on the day she murdered him, witness said yes.
Defense questioning FINALLY ended and The State's turn.
JM started off asking if the witness knew the phone that the sex recording was on was reported stolen by JA. And that it appeared in the DT hands, so he asked if that indicates that JA lied. and if she lied about that, the possibilities of why she recorded it all are endless. And there's no record of TA giving consent to be recorded.
then he moved on to asking if the witness interviewed JA and watched the 48 hours interview. then witness mentioned she didn't have her notes. JM asked why she took notes, and she said to remember dates/times..etc and said she was asked to stop taking notes. JM asked and clarified that JSS, The State didn't tell her to stop, but the DT told her to stop the note taking.
JM moved on to the witness' testimony that JA withdrew when she was abused. JM brings out documents and has witness look them over. One was a document the DT gave her and one was the real document (documents not shown to court, so can only assume what it is). One thing was missing on the document provided to her from the DT. - when JA's father slapped her, she told him F U Bill. it was omitted by DT.
JM showed the witness a confidential document that she didn't review before. He asks her if it changed her view that TA felt like a piece of meat. she says her opinion remains the same. - no one in the court saw the document, but it was a document titled privileged & confidential. He showed her another document to indicate that JA went from boyfriend to boyfriend rather than having long, steady b/f's as indicated in witness' earlier testimony.
He showed messages between JA/TA about her kicking walls, being angry - to discredit the prior testimony that JA was basically a calm victim. Then he showed a message from her indicating how she waxed her girly bits in case she saw him and had the spiderman panties. Along with more texts about the schoolgirl outfit she was planning for the photo shoot. That was to discredit that TA was always the one to initiate sexual talk.
Court in recess until Monday.
Tomorrow at 10:30 am is the hearing on the motion to dismiss her case BS.
Hope that wasn't too long of a recap for you. JM manages to cram a lot of info in a short amount of time.
